The beginning of school also means the beginning of small groups again. If you're like lots of churches, you've taken the summer off to go to camp, go on mission trip, and hopefully, go on vacation. Now, it's back to the rhythm of the school calendar. But with the return of the school year also comes the return of many of the problems that plague teen girls. Might I suggest a few Bible studies to help your girls?
True Princess: Embracing Humility in an All-About-Me World
If your girls went on a mission trip this summer, they got a glimpse of what it was like to live beyond themselves. But in reality, humility is a lifestyle, not something you practice in Romania or rural Kentucky. Even though they're bombarded by messages that proclaim them as princesses, girls need to learn that being a daughter of the King comes with profound responsibility. True Princess helps girls tackle their own egos and get some perspective on who's really on the throne.
Girl Talk: The Power of Your Words
The beginning of a new school year always brings with it lots of drama, most of which is centered around gossip, mean girls, who said what to whom and how it was interpreted and...you get the picture. Girl Talk is aimed at helping you help your girls realize the power of their words for good or for evil. It tackles gossip, foul language, cutting speech, and challenges them that they can be profound life-givers by telling others about their relationship with God.
Woven
If you have new girls in your group, then this study might be just for you. It can be used in either a retreat setting or as a weekly study. Its theme is unity, and it answers questions like, What is unity, really? What does unity look like? What kills unity? What is my role in bringing unity to my group? In the end, your girls will learn that they have a lot more that brings them together than keeps them apart.
